Darkwing Duck wears a blue turtleneck, purple double-breasted blazer, purple cape with magenta lining, purple mask and gray wide-brimmed fedora with black band.
...But no pants.
...
And yes, I just typed all that from memory.

You, ma'am are a credit to your species. *gives you a cookie* You even got the cape-lining color exactly right! (And thank you; I've been trying to find the name for that "two rows of buttons down the front" design for years!)

I do love this show!!! >_< I was thinking Rainbow Dash at first, but after some careful consideration (and mostly from my friends cracking up to my rhymes) I will be pulling out a Zecora in the next couple of months! ^_^

I already did Rainbow Dash for Halloween last year, now for Megacon I'm gonna be Applejack! I've always wanted a good pair of cowboy boots and now I finally have an excuse to buy some. Since most of the outfit can be bought and modified I'm hoping to make a few accessories for her, like a little Winona plush and her green saddlebags.

Sadly, I can't give the original artist credit because I've had them on my hard drive forever and can't remember where I found them.

What an amazing set of costumes and props! Seriously, these are awesome!

I do believe Zecora's metre would be

"Beware, beware you pony folk!
For the cosplays I do are not a joke!"

(I songwrite and also occasionally write poetry in my spare time, so I tend to pick up these things).

BTW, new here. Saw pony cosplay thread, am considering the possibility in the longer term of doing some sort of MLP-style character cosplay, so thought I'd say hi.

Of course, I haven't done anything yet (money and skill are unkind to me).

I've made the new corset for Victorian Rarity, but now I'm dithering as far as the dress goes. Initially, I wanted to approach it like a ginjinka: white bustle dress with a purple bustled "tail" but now I'm entertaining the idea of doing her Gala dress, which would totally work as an 1860s gown

first of all, i LOVE the idea of a Victorian Rarity. second, i the purple bustle tail is a brilliant idea. but as to whether she should just be gajinka or in her Gala dress? well...i personally like her normal colors better than her gala colors (too much friggen pink for me!), but i can also imagine that making her gala dress in a Victorian style would improve it a hundred fold. so whichever you choose, i bet it will look awesome, and i cannot wait to see the results!

@ Alpha: I say go with the Gala gown, since so few ponies have attempted those. I bet it would look amazing as a Victorian evening gown, too. Less costume-y, more, IDK, elegant? But's it's your call...Post picks when you're finished!

I'm working on a human Applejack! But I'm in a bit of a jam. I bought a hat similar to this: http://www.tuthat.com/wp-content/upl...ite-700938.jpg and while I love it, it doesn't have the notch in the front like AJ's does. Do you think it'd be ok if I cut out the notch and then lined the edges with something, or would the straw just start unraveling?
